away from the heart

180 Chapter 4
Chuyue woke up suddenly, afraid that she was still in a dream, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously.The figure did not disappear, but retreated a few steps away, just stood quietly, and did not come closer.

Xue Yao looked at Chuyue secretly by the dim light, and saw that she turned around after waking up. Although she was a little weak, she was fine, and her heart that had been hanging for a long time was finally relieved.He opened his mouth with a cold tone: "I came here this time to remind you to be careful. There is no difference between day and night in prison. Don't fall asleep when you shouldn't be asleep. You can't eat back, you know?"

Chuyue hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't have a prophecy dream, I just wanted to trick my father into letting me go out."

Only then did Xue Yao feel relieved and stopped talking.

Chuyue blinked at Xue Yao, feeling warm in her heart: "You are worried about me, aren't you?"

Xue Yao turned his face away, stopped looking at her, and said indifferently: "Your life was bought by my brother, you must be worthy of him."

Chuyue felt disappointed, and when she thought of Xue Mu, her heart crumpled into a ball: "I know, I will live a good life, for him..." Suddenly Chuyue seemed to remember something, and the conversation changed suddenly. Turn, "By the way, Dongshi, there is a problem with Dongshi! He gave me the poison in that brook. If you find him, maybe that brook can be saved."

Xue Yao seemed to have expected it, and sighed, "Just got the news, the alchemy room has been empty."

"Then, what should I do?" Chuyue became anxious and grabbed Xue Yao's cuff, "My birthstone can only heal wounds, not poison."

"Don't worry," Xue Yao said in a calm tone, as if there was a gully in his chest, "I suspected Dong Shi before, and I have sent someone to watch the person in the alchemy room, I will go after him." After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Chuyue called him, "Xue Yao, thank you..."

Xue Yao took a deep breath, turned around and met Chuyue's eyes, pretending to be indifferent.

"I'm not helping you. Also, I'm not by your side. Don't sleep during taboo hours, lest... lest my brother be uneasy under the Nine Springs."

Chuyue covered her ears, frowned, and pleaded in her tone: "Can you stop mentioning Mr. Guan Shan? Every time I hear his name, I feel like a sinner."

"No, more than that." Xue Yao sighed, "You and I are both sinners."

The alchemy room was in a mess, the bottles and cans were turned upside down and scattered all over the floor, and there was a scene of panic in the room where people were drinking tea.

Xue Yao patrolled around, picked up an overturned bottle of medicinal medicine from the cabinet, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said to Luo Ji: "Take all the medicines here for a thorough investigation, and then see if there are any other medicines." clues."

"Yes."

Bai Liqi hurriedly ran into the courtyard, saluted Xue Yao, and then hurriedly said, "General! The people from Dongshi led us to the ferry, maybe... we have already left the capital."

"It's absolutely impossible." Xue Yao replied firmly.

"Why is the general so sure?" Bai Liqi was puzzled. He took people to track down Dong Shi, but was set aside by Dong Shi's people. After chasing him to the ferry, he found no trace of him.

"He has been lurking in the palace for so long, it is impossible just to kill Naxi. I have a hunch that he is still in the palace." Xue Yao fiddled with the porcelain bottle in his hand, there was only half of the medicine in the bottle, and the other half Scattered on the cabinet, it can be seen how sloppy the owner was when he escaped.

"So rampant? General, where do you think he will hide?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Xue Yao raised the corner of his mouth, and a stern light flashed in his eyes.
